SAL 55200

Unread post by david antony »

Picked up a SAL 55200 55-200 for USD $109 not too bad for the price,
handy size. Sort of interim till I acquire 70-200 or the 70-300G

Couple of initial shots.

Looking across Boundary Bay to Mt Baker Wa.

For that price I surely would like one.
Nice shots, btw.

That first shot especially is excellent. If I didn't have the fast Minolta 70-210 I would definitely get one of these for portable telephoto. Thanks for sharing!

That is a good price Roger. I think the Tamron is every bit as good as the Sony,
maybe better?

Put your in order Doc!

Thanks for the kind words Jim, it certainly is light and portable. Be nice to
have a bit more weight like the fast Minolta 70-210 to help stabilize the hand.
